Description: This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) analyzes impacts related to mining phosphate ore at the Blackfoot Bridge Mine in Southeastern Idaho.  The Proposed Action includes developing three mine pits, haul roads, water management structures, and overburden disposal areas.  Use of existing mill facilities would continue in Soda Springs.  Alternatives to the Proposed Action are also analyzed and site-specific mitigation measures developed.  The BLM Preferred Alternative is Alternative 1A because the cover design and water management plan would reduce the impacts of the Proposed Action.
